Nor' easter?

So, on the right you'll see my back yard at 8:00 a.m., just as it was starting to snow today. On the left and below a bit you'll see the result of that snow at approximately 6:00 p.m. Needless to say, it snows a bit here in New York.

Now I'm no stranger to snow. I was not born yesterday after all, last year perhaps, but not yesterday. I am told we had a fairly good snow back in Illinois, that is back when we still lived in Illinois. I think I was just a few months old at that point, during the blizzard of '07 (yes I realize it's still '07, but it sounds better this way) so I am unable to report with any degree of accuracy as to it's impact. I am told however, by very reliable sources that the big snow of '07 (the one I referred to earlier as having occurred during my short residency in Illinois) was in fact more devastating than the snow we had today. That is not meant to diminish the impact of the snow today, just to relate a sense of scale. In fact I seem to recall that we lost power at our home in Illinois, during the blizzard of '07, and have not in fact lost power here in New York. I do have to say it was an impressive amount of snow here today for a relatively short period of time however. I have it on good authority that the snow today, and I quote, "is nothing". Like I said, it snows here. A lot. Not sure I like the sounds of that.

It was fun to watch the flakes falling from the sky today. Like watching a giant overturned salt shaker, if some miscreant had loosed the shaker lid that is. No time to cry over spilled milk however. What's done is done. Stiff upper lip and all that. Perhaps it's time for a nice bottle, calms the nerves. Milk of course, the Guinness hat is my dad's. He just let's me wear it, provided I do my tough guy look. Not bad eh?
